Hi Triangle. I left at the end of second year (July 1967) and went to Salford Grammar School near Manchester. I hadn't done the Eleven Plus as Forest Hill was comprehensive - but it's reputation and the fact that I was in one of the top 3 classes in second year got me into the Grammar School OK - which was a bit of luck!! - otherwise I'd have been dumped in the local Secondary Modern. So I agree, FH was a great school. I definitely remember some of the names you've mentioned. Mick O'Flynn - quite chubby, round face, rosey cheeks,dark hair? Bill Baiiley - glasses, wavy/curly hair, a bit gawpy looking but a good laugh? I'm pretty sure I remember a few of the other names too particularly Michael Watts and Ray Cooper. John Murray was quite tall with dark hair - lived south of Catford near to the Lido. He went on the 1967 Russia trip as well and was also in Browning. You might remember David(?) or it might be Steven Brock as he broke both arms at the same time falling out of a tree and came to school in two plaster casts for months! He lived just off Venner Road in Sydenham. Anyway, nice to hear from you and I hope some of this stirs a memory or rtwo. My name is Bill McLeish by the way if it's any help.
Kind Regards Bill
